If the data processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, i.e. your express consent, you have the right to revoke this given consent at any time (pursuant to Art. 7 Para. 3 S. 1 GDPR). The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this data protection statement. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation (pursuant to Art. 7 Para. 3 S. 2 GDPR).

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising
IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION.

IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Definitions

The data protection statement of our company is based on the terms, which the European legislative and regulatory authority uses in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter called “GDPR”). Our data protection statement aims to be easy to read and to understand by general public as well as by our customers or business partners. To guarantee this we shall first explain the terms used. We use in this data protections statement and on our internet homepage, inter alia, following terminology:

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('data subject'). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the party responsible for the processing.

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Controller or the party responsible for the processing means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Rights of the data subjekt

As the party affected by the processing of your data, you may claim certain rights under the GDPR and other relevant data protection regulations. Under the GDPR, you are entitled to claim the following specific rights as the data subject:

Right of access by the data subject
You have the right to request information on the data we hold about you from us at any time. This information includes, but is not limited to, the categories of data we process, the purposes for which it is processed, the source of the data if not collected directly from you, and, if applicable, the recipients with whom we have shared your data. You can obtain a copy of your data from us free of charge. If you require additional copies, we reserve the right to charge you for these copies.

Right to rectification
You have the right to request that we rectify inaccurate data relating to you. We will take appropriate steps to keep the data we store and process on an ongoing basis accurate, complete and current, based on the most up-to-date information available.

Right to erasure
You have the right to request that we erase your data, as long as the legal requirements for this are satisfied. This may be the case under Art. 17 GDPR if:

• the data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
• you withdraw the consent on which data processing is based, and there is no other legal basis for processing;
• you lodge an objection to the processing of your data and there are no legitimate reasons for processing, or you object to data processing for direct marketing purposes;
• the data was processed unlawfully,
• and provided that processing is not required
• to ensure compliance with a legal obligation that requires us to process your data especially with regard to statutory retention periods;
• to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request that we restrict processing of your data if:

• you dispute the accuracy of the data – in which case processing may be restricted during the time it takes to verify the accuracy of the data;
• processing is unlawful, and you reject erasure of your data, requesting that its usage be restricted instead;
• we no longer need your data, but you need it to establish, exercise or defend your rights;
• you have lodged an objection to its processing, as long as it is not certain that our legitimate reasons outweigh yours.

Right to data portability
You have the right to request that we transfer your data – if technically possible – to another responsible party. However, you may only enforce this right if data processing is based on your consent or is necessary for the performance of a contract. Rather than receiving a copy of your data, you may also ask us to submit the data directly to another responsible party specified by you.

Right to object
You have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons that arise from your particular situation, as long as data processing is based on your consent, on our legitimate interests or those of a third party. In this case, we will cease to process your data. This does not apply if we can show that there are compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, or if we need your data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to revoke the declaration of consent
You have the right to withdraw your given consent at any time.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union or other provisions of a data protection nature. A list of the state data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/anschriften_table.html (in German)

The data protection supervisory authority responsible for us is:
The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information
Ludwig-Erhard-Str. 22
20459 Hamburg
Phone: +49 40 42854-4040
Email: mailbox(at)datenschutz.hamburg.de

Legal basis for the processing of personal data
 Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, the Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as legal basis. In the processing of personal data required to fulfil a contract of which the data subject is a party, the Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as legal basis. If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or of a third party, and if the interest, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the first mentioned interest, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as legal basis for data processing.

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller processes (in this connection also: stores) the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of the storage or, if the processing is required by the European legislative and regulatory authorities, or laid down in another law or regulation to which the controller is liable.  If the purpose of the storage ceases to apply, or if a storage period prescribed by the European directives and regulations or by any other relevant legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller processes (in this connection also: stores) the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of the storage or,
if the processing is required by the European legislative and regulatory authorities, or laid down in another law or regulation to which the controller is liable.
If the purpose of the storage ceases to apply, or if a storage period prescribed by the European directives and regulations or by any other relevant legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Privacy in recruitment and in the application process

The controller collects and processes personal data for the purposes of the application procedure. The processing can also be done electronically. This is particularly the case where an applicant submits the corresponding documents to the controller by means of electronic communications, e.g. by e-mail. If the controller concludes a contract of employment with one applicant, the transmitted data are stored for the purpose of executing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude a contract of employment with any of the applicants, the application documents will automatically be deleted six months after the notification of letter of rejection, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the controller. In this context other legitimate interest means for instance a burden of proof in legal proceedings pursuant to the General Law on Equal Treatment (AGG).

Website Encryption

This site TLS-encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http: //" to "https: //" and by the lock symbol in the browser line. If encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Request by E-Mail, Phone or Fax

If you contact us by e-mail, phone or fax, your request, including all personal data resulting from it (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried. The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - especially legal storage periods - remain unaffected.

Links to other websites

Our websites contain links to other websites (so called external links). Our company is as a supplier responsible for the contents of our own as required by the European and national legislation in force. Our own contents are to be distinguished from links to contents provided by other suppliers. We have no influence over whether or not operators of other websites comply with the European and national data protection regulations in force. Please learn more about the data protection statements on the websites of the respective suppliers.

Cookies

We use cookies in order to further improve our internet presentation for you, make it more user-friendly and to tailor it as well as possible to meet your needs. Cookies are small text data files, which a webserver sends to your internet browser when you visit a website. The cookies are stored locally on your terminal (personal computer, notebook, tablet, smartphone etc.). Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain so called cookie ID, which is a unique identifier of the cookie. Cookie ID consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can trace back the actual web browser, on which the cookie is stored. This allows the visited web pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other web browsers that contain other cookies. A specific web browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID. The purpose of this information is to automatically recognize you and to facilitate your navigation, when you visit the website again with the same device. You can also consent or reject cookies - also for web tracking - via the settings of your web browser. You can configure your web browser so that it blocks cookies generally, or you will be warned in advance when a new cookie is about to be stored. In this case, however, the functionality of the website may be impaired (for example when placing orders). Your browser also offers a function to delete cookies (for instance by choosing “Clear browsing data”. This is possible in all common web browsers. Further information can be found in the user manual or in the settings of your browser.

First-party cookies: First-party cookies are permanent cookies that are stored on the computer and only lose their validity when the expiry date assigned to them has expired. The word "party" refers to the domain from which the cookie originated. In contrast to third-party cookies, first-party cookies usually come from the website operator itself. They are therefore not accessible to browsers across domains. For example, website A assigns a cookie A, which is not recognized by website B, but can only be recognized by website A. This means that data cannot be passed on to third parties.

Third-party cookies: With a third-party cookie, the cookie is set and recorded by a third party. These cookies are mostly used by advertisers who use their cookies on other websites to collect information about website visitors using the cookies. These are data records that are stored in the user's web browser when he visits a page with the advertisement. If he visits a page with advertising from the same provider again, he will be recognized.

Other distinguishing characteristics:

Transient cookies: Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include session cookies in particular. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This allows your computer to be recognised when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.

Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.

Cookie consent
We use a so-called cookie consent tool on our website to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies in your browser and to document this in compliance with data protection regulations. When you visit our website for the first time, a corresponding information banner appears. You have the option of using this tool to

• Reject all cookies except those that are mandatory
• Select and save individually which cookie categories you want to allow (e.g. marketing, external content)
• Or accept all cookies

The legal basis for the use of the cookie consent banner is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR (legal obligation) in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR (proof of consent) and § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG for access to information in the end device. The consent banner itself stores technically necessary cookies to save your preferences. These cookies do not contain any personal data.

Security of personal data

Our company shall take numerous technical and organizational measures in order to protect your personal data against accidental or illegal destruction, alteration, loss, unlawful disclosure or unauthorized access. Nevertheless, for instance internet-based data transfer can principally bear gaps in the security, and therefore absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, any data subject is free to communicate personal data to us in an alternative way, for instance by telephone.

Google Analytics 4

If you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The controller for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

Third country transfer
For the USA, the European Commission adopted a news adequacy decision on 10 July 2023. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Privacy Framework. Since Google servers are distributed worldwide and a transfer to third countries (for example to Singapore) cannot be completely ruled out, we have also concluded the EU standard contractual clauses with the provider to establish an appropriate level of data protection in those countries.

Retention period
The data sent by us and linked to cookies are automatically deleted after 2 months. The maximum lifespan of Google Analytics cookies is 2 years. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached occurs automatically once a month.

Legal basis
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent pursuant to Art.6 Para.1 lit.a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG.

Withdrawal
You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the cookie settings. The lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation remains unaffected. You can also prevent the storage of cookies from the outset by setting your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to reject all cookies, this may result in a restriction of functionalities on this and other websites. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, and the processing of this data by Google, by:

• not giving your consent to the setting of the cookie or
• downloading and installing the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

Google Maps
This website uses the mapping service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. To enable the use of the Google Maps features, your IP address must be stored. As a rule, this information is transferred to one of Google’s servers in the United States, where it is archived. The storage and processing of the collected data takes place in the USA, i.e. a third country for which there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission. However, Google bases the data transfer to the USA on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework of the European Commission. The operator of this website has no control over the data transfer. In case Google Maps has been activated, Google has the option to use Google Fonts for the purpose of the uniform depiction of fonts. When you access Google Maps, your browser will load the required web fonts into your browser cache, to correctly display text and fonts. We use Google Maps to present our online content in an appealing manner and to make the locations disclosed on our website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. GDPR. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found here:

Google Fonts

To ensure a consistent and visually appealing presentation of typefaces on our website, we use Google Fonts. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as 'Google'). When you access our website, your browser loads the required web fonts from Google’s servers in order to display text and fonts correctly. In doing so, a connection is established to Google’s servers. As a result, Google may process your IP address and certain technical information (e.g. browser type, operating system, time of access). No cookies are stored in connection with the use of Google Fonts. The data are transmitted to resource-specific domains such as fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com. These data are not combined with other Google services (e.g. Gmail or YouTube). The storage and processing of the collected data may also take place in the United States, a third country for which there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission. However, Google bases the transfer of data to the United States on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework adopted by the European Commission. The use of Google Fonts is based exclusively on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example via the settings in the cookie banner. If your browser does not support Google Fonts or you block access to Google servers, system default fonts will be used instead. Alternatively, we may host Google Fonts locally on our own web server; in this case, no data are transmitted to Google. Further information about Google Fonts can be found in Google’s FAQ at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?hl=en and in Google’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

The storage and processing of the collected data may also take place in the USA, a third country for which there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission. However, Adobe bases the transfer of data to the USA on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework adopted by the European Commission. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Our Social Media Profiles

Data processing by social networks
We operate publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks we use in detail are listed below.Social networks such as Facebook, X etc. can usually analyse your user behaviour extensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. Like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media profiles triggers numerous data protection‑relevant processing operations. In detail:If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection may take place, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest‑based advertising can be displayed to you inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, this interest‑based advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are or have been logged in.Please also note that we cannot track all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis
Our social media profiles aim to ensure the broadest possible presence on the internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Controller and exercising your rights
When you visit one of our social media profiles (e.g. Facebook), we and the operator of the social media platform are jointly responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can exercise your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) in principle both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. against Facebook). Please note that despite the joint controllership with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage period
The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for its storage no longer applies, you request us to delete it, you withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Cookies stored on your device remain there until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected. We have no influence on the storage period of your data stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

Instagram
We have a profile on Instagram. The provider is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland. For details on their handling of your personal data, please refer to the Instagram Privacy Centre: https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/
